Anything Goes for Cute Card Thursday!

Hello friends! It’s time for an easy peasy “ANYTHING GOES” challenge over at Cute Card Thursday this week!! Our monthly sponsor Whimsy Stampswill be joining us this week and I’m thrilled to share some of those products on my card today:

I have used this really sweet digital stamp on my card called “Penguin Loves Bunny“! He is holding him ever so tightly and not wanting to let go!! 🙂

As I’m trying to get back into the swing of things here, I wanted to be sure to join some challenges and so I’ve picked out a nice sketch to start my card with here. (See the details below the post for all challenges.) I’ve been wanting to get out these yummy plaid papers that I’ve had for a couple of years. This seemed like the perfect image for that too!

So I took the panel of plaid papers and layered it with some kraft cardstock. I took some white organdy ribbon and wrapped a piece around the left side of it and tied on a bow at the top before attaching it to the upper right of my A2 sized top folding white card base. I’ve cut out the image with an oval die and then layered another oval piece that was cut out with the kraft cardstock. This oval panel was layered over the plaid.

I took a sentiment from the Whimsy Stamps Everyday Mini Sentiment clear stamp set and stamped the “miss you” underneath the image. I also used the Whimsy Stamps Friend Word & Shadow die set to cut a piece of vellum with the shadow and then cut the word out with some pink cardstock and then attached them right underneath the stamped “miss you” sentiment. Lastly, I’ve added some of the pink enamel dots from the Whimsy Stamps It’s a Party enamel dots set.

Here’s a closer look at the coloring of this image. I’ve colored it in with Copic markers in the following colors:

Penguin: C8, C5, C3, C1, Y38, Y35, Y32, R00

Bunny: E47, E44, E42, E41, W5, W3, W1, R20, R11, R00

I also used a blender 0 and a white gel pen for cheeks and bunny tail

I thought this image would be so fun for Easter too!! I can see it used in so many different ways! It’s a new digital release for the month of March at Whimsy Stamps, so it would be a great one to pick up!!

Also, don’t foget to play along with us over at Cute Card Thursday for your chance to possibly win something from our sponsor this week which is Whimsy Stamps! Stop by and check out the inspiration from the rest of the design team!! Can’t wait to see what you’re making!!

Hope you’ve enjoyed my card today!! Thanks so much for dropping in!! See you soon!

Adorable sweet image and your coloring is amazing! I love your colors- perfect! The sketch is perfectly executed! Glad you are feeling better! I have caught a respiratory virus that has become viral pneumonia……I have asthma, so it is really doing a number on me!!!

Fabulous use of that sketch, Vicki, and I love, love, LOVE that daring image! Great choice of the plaid paper with its subtle colors. Congrats on taking a Top 5 spot with this card over at QKR Stampede! Very well deserved, my friend. 😀
